Got a call from +27?
If you don’t know anyone there, be careful. A common trick is the one-ring call: the phone rings once so that you call back, and the call is charged at an expensive international rate.
Don’t call back unknown international numbers, never share codes or bank details, and search the full number here to see what other people have reported.
